Welsh government reveals digital construction action plan

The action plan, developed in partnership with Constructing Excellence in Wales (which is affiliated to nima), proposes 22 distinct actions. Key among these is the call for the development of a digital approach for Wales, which should include a minimum standard of information requirements and asset management to feed into a Welsh version of the UK Construction Playbook.

The action plan also calls for the Welsh government to seek the budget for an information hub that includes existing digital guidance documents, policies, mandates, legislation, R&D grants, a library of best practices and case studies of available solutions.

Furthermore, the action plan proposes that the development of a pan-Wales centralised compliance system/portal linked to connected public sector authorities should be considered.
